Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Will L (551) on 17 Nov 2015

This movie is a crazy trip! The more sense you try to make out of it, the less sense it actually makes. Its clever, well acted and fucked up…

With each passing David Cronenberg that I watch, I become convinced that my latest viewing in his filmography may just be the weirdest one…
